The objective of our campaign is to position Ocean State Job Lot as a retail business that provides the customer with a unique shopping experience, which we coined as "adventure shopping."  It is truly an "adventure" to find various quality, brand-name items at low, closeout prices.  Three spots from our campaign are included in this entry.  Each one shows a different type of customer, experiencing a different adventure and finding the best prices for what they are looking for.  Note: "Mother in Law/Daughter in Law" is a two-part :30 spot that is aired together.
